Made this as cupcakes and they were fantastic! I had been craving lime cupcakes, and these really hit the spot. The only change I made was to use key lime juice in the batter instead of orange juice. The cake doesn't rise very much though, so to get the cupcakes to look right I had to fill the cups up to almost the top.

This cake is pretty and has plenty of lime flavor for anyone who is a real fan of limes and lime flavored desserts. A great change of pace....Update; I didn't have any orange juice, so I used a 6 oz. can of pineapple juice. Then I topped it with whipped cream frosting sprinkled with coconut. Yum!

i made this cake yesterday for my best friend's birthday-key lime pie being her favorite. after reading other reviews, i made the following changes: used 1/2 c. oil and 1/2 c. applesause (stayed with 4 eggs), only used 1/2 of the lime jell-o mix to cut down a bit on the sweetness, added the zest of 2 limes to the batter and used lemonade instead of orange juice. for the icing, i used the recommended amount of butter and cream cheese, added the zest of a lime and added about 2 tablespoons of the the lime jell-o mix. i had PLENTY of frosting (i only made 2 layers) and even had some left over. it baked in about 25 minutes and t came out wonderfully moist and delicious! definitely a hit-thank you!

AWESOM cake, super moist! Everyone loved this cake, it was gone in no time, will def be saving this to my files and making any chance I get!! I would probably add a little more powdered sugar next time to thicken the icing though....

Well i ran out of orange juice, so i used lemonade instead, which turned out great! The only problem that i see with this recipe, is that it didn't rise as much as i thought it would. So if you're making cupcakes, make sure to fill the cups nearly all the way full. If you only fill them about two thirds full, they wont rise much higher than the top of the paper baking cups. Oh, and this recipe makes A LOT of cupcakes, count on about 2 1/2 dozen or so. great for parties :]

This cake is absolutely delicious! I made it in 2 layers because sometimes the 3 layer cakes, to me, lose a lot of the cake taste to mostly the icing. That being said, the icing was super rich so I would recommend only using the amount the recipe calls for. Don't double! I made this for a 4th of July cookout and it was the hit! People who normally don't have seconds had seconds. Its been requested again so I thought I'd do it justice and leave a review. TRY THIS CAKE :)

The flavor of this cake is great, but I don't think the liquid measurements are correct. 1 1/3 c. oil and 4 eggs makes the batter very thin. My cakes fell apart as I tried to frost them and I had to make it as a trifle. Also, the frosting should be doubled if you hope to cover the whole cake. Like, I said, the flavor is great, but I would definitely lower the amount of oil and/or eggs.
